Book Descriptions
for Two Mrs. Gibsons by Toyomi Igus and Daryl Wells
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
The two Mrs. Gibsons don't seem to have much in common--one is tall, has dark skin and was born in Tennessee and the other is short, light-skinned and was born in Japan. The narrator of this story describes the two by pointing out all their differences but, in the end, they have one important thing in common: "...they both loved my daddy and they both loved me." This lyrical and unusually direct story of an interracial family focuses on the child's joyful acceptance of differences. (Ages 3-7)

The biracial daughter of an African-American father and a Japanese mother fondly recalls growing up with her mother and her father's mother, two very different but equally loving women.
